“Every once in a while, you come across a comic book that feels different than anything else on the shelves. It takes a certain type of confidence and talent to step so far outside the box. Farel Dalrymple shows that he is not lacking in either with PROXIMA CENTAURI.” —Rogues Portal.

When you’re young and plunged into unimaginable peril, you can live a hundred adult lifetimes in one wild adventure. From a missing-children epidemic in turn-of-the-century Hong Kong to an ‘Inglorious Bastard-child” in Nazi Germany, to youth gangs in a futuristic wilderness of monsters, Anne Opotowsky and Aya Morton (His Dream of the Skyland), Geoff Moore (Son of Hitler) and Farel Dalrymple (The Wrenchies) take us to new heights of youthful dark fantasy. Moderated by Kwanza Osajyefo.

PROXIMA CENTAURI, Part Five Conditions in the spectral zone are getting unbearable. Shakey, Parasol, Almendra, Gris Gato, and the Proxinauts join forces with many others to fight some malignant deities.

“Sherwood continues his emotional journey in Proxima Centauri #3. Now, Sherwood is navigating romantic feelings, friendships, and bullies. However, the most puzzling part of young Sherwood’s journey this issue are the tiny blue creatures right at the end.

I cannot praise Farel Dalrymple enough for his thoughtful exploration of the adolescent mind. Proxima Centauri #3 has proved to be the most emotionally intense issue thus far. Sherwood’s journey through his bewildering planet is foreign in setting, but extremely realistic in all other aspects. Dalrymple’s surreal depiction of the teenager’s struggle creates a kind of tension in the narrative where the words and art amplify each other. As Sherwood’s world continues to grow more visually complex, Dalrymple draws more detail and the written narrative becomes equally more dynamic. In some respects, Sherwood is a highly relatable character, suffering from the typical teenage pangs. But his world is far more complex than ours, and Dalrymple reflects that in the art.

The Bottom Line: Proxima Centauri #3 is another triumphant issue. Farel Dalrymple continues to create an intriguing and surprising world, with a moody, insecure teenager as the lead character.”

hey world, i am (with thanks to the much help of one of my oldest friends) whipping this website into shape.

i am posting more on my Patreon where for just $2 a month you can get exclusive content and a chance to buy some smaller pieces and sketches.

a few people have asked me how to get that sort of thing outside of visiting me at a con or using ebay opportunists so i am making some stuff available you can buy direct from me.

also don’t forget you can buy lots of original comic art pages from my wonderful art dealer The Beguiling, including covers i have done recently. here is a video from my youtube channel of a few things i just sent to them.
